I think I love it but I’m not sure. And I don’t know if I should rate it four or five stars. 
Like I really enjoyed it and I didn’t want to put it down even tho it was 3:am. It was short chapters and it was really easily read which I loved! While I read it I read over 100 pages every day and I just flew through the pages! 
On the other hand, I got really annoyed at Hardin and Tessa, they love eachother and Rhen the next second they are upset and angry at eachother and they never want to see the other one again, but then, two seconds later they are back at being over their heels in love again! It is just so very much back and forth in their relationship and I just can’t get not annoyed with it! 
I love Hardin but I also hate him! Like he doesn’t deserve Tessa but they are still OTP so they can not not be together. And Tessa shouldn’t take Hardin back after he  left her and insulted her for the millionth time! But still, I can’t blame her for going back to him at mist of the times.

And also the spice?!😮‍💨😮‍💨

First of all the things I especially liked about the book were the short chapters, the suspense and the character development. I especially enjoyed the parts where the protagonists got along and everything was going the right way.
I was a bit disappointed concerning the ending and all the fights which were the same over and over again. Also, some of the erotic scenes made me cringe. Another aspect I don’t really approve of is the fact that everything in Tessa‘s life - apart from the relationship with Hardin and her mother - is too perfect: immaculate  GPA, best job, dream apartment, gorgeous looks, her dorm mate being her best friend since day one, several boys flirting with her, … 
Nevertheless, I finished reading this within less than 30 hours and I‘m not even a native speaker, so I would say it‘s definitely a catchy plot and I‘m intrigued to find out how the story continues!

I read this because I’m a masochist and like to see what all the fuss is about things that people find problematic. This is one massive yikes. Started out fun and stupid and spiraled quickly into straight up verbally and emotionally abusive. Unsure what redeeming features Hardin is supposed to have outside of apparently being attractive. Also extremely unsure if this is a relationship we’re supposed to view as toxic (if so, the author did NOT make that clear enough at all) or if this dynamic is genuinely attractive and desirable to the author. It’s books like these that I feel shouldn’t even exist because while I, as a grown adult, am very conscious of what is healthy and abusive behaviour, the 12 year olds reading this on WattPad for Harry Styles fic will not. Also weird as hell to be writing RPF in the first place, especially when you’re married and the guy you’re writing about was ~18 at the time and ~6 years younger than you. Glad I found a pdf online cuz there was no way I’m supporting her with my money lmao.
